If you really belive that their belt hardware is made of hard plastic then you my friend are on some good s#$t! Did you ever make a call to Impact and ask them for loops on your belts? I bet not, belive it or not there are other racecars in the world besides sprint cars. And they don't need loops in the belts. Maybe you should educate your self on what your needs are before blaming the manufacturer.
I am a Impact racing customer and I belive in their product. I know Bill personally and I know he would NEVER put a product on the market that was not tested and safe for use. If you don't want to run it fine by me!

I have raced for 17 years and have always used Simpson Belts, suit, gloves, shoes, etc. I have had to take Impact Belts out of more than one car I have drove for someone else because I did not feel safe with them. They wouldn't get tight, the hardware is like a hard plastic, the shoulder belts and lap belts have no loop to get your hand or screw driver into to really get them tight. Bill Simpson had it right with Simpson Race Products but he needs to take a hard look at the kind of product he is putting out there with Impact!
I would never use Impact Safety Equipment even if they gave it to me!
I fear for anyone that currently does!
